How do I know if my power supply is adequate for my components

Sure! Here are three different ways to answer that:

**Check the Wattage**: First, you’ll want to look at the wattage of your power supply. Add up the power requirements of all your components, like the CPU, GPU, and any extra drives. If the total is close to or less than what your power supply can handle, you’re good to go! There are also online calculators that can help you figure this out.

**Look for the 80 Plus Certification**: If your power supply has an 80 Plus certification, it’s a good sign that it’s efficient and likely to provide stable power. Also, make sure it has enough connectors for your components, especially if you have a beefy graphics card that needs extra power.
